Instruction Manual
The column on the right of video playback area shows video codec information and metadata such as synopsis, credits, etc
(FIG. 95). By default videos do not have any metadata. Codec and bitrate information is only shown to administrators or users with
upload permission to the folder containing the selected video. To play a different version of the video, use the Details drop down to
select the format and bitrate to play. Again this is only available to administrators or those with upload permission. Normal users
can use the View menu to select a different bitrate version of the video. The format is chosen automatically. Click Go Fullscreen in
the View menu to view the video fullscreen.
NOTE: Audio content cannot be played from the Archive service on the server itself since the server has no audio capability. Audio
files must be played from a remote browser with audio capabilities.
